Boston Celtics guard Derrick White is on the cusp of making NBA history, with just three games remaining in the 2025-26 regular season. The versatile guard needs just two more blocks to reach 100, which would secure a statistical feat never before achieved in the league.

According to ESPN Insights, White would become the first player ever to record at least 100 blocks and 200 three-pointers in a single season. This remarkable benchmark perfectly encapsulates his evolution into a premier two-way star, impacting the game on both ends of the floor.

White's offensive prowess is clear, as he's averaging a career-high 16.7 points and has drained 206 three-pointers this season. Defensively, his shot-blocking is even more extraordinary for a guard. With 98 blocks, he ranks 13th in the NBA—a leaderboard typically dominated by centers and power forwards.

His defensive impact is historic in its own right. Among players 6-foot-5 or shorter, only legends Dwyane Wade and David Thompson have recorded more blocks in a single season. Adding to his all-around game, White has also set career highs in steals and assists this year.

This unique combination of elite perimeter shooting and elite rim protection for his position has drawn high praise, with Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson recently calling him a top-five player. As the Celtics look to lock up the East's No. 2 seed, all eyes will be on White to see if he can make history Thursday night against the Knicks.
